No longer open to vehicular traffic, this covered bridge spans Fox Creek in a single 90 foot span. The Wikipedia article on the bridge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringos_Mill_Covered_Bridge disputes whether or not it is a "Burr truss" and I take no position on that.
The sign on the bridge indicates that it was built circa 1869 (after the end of the Civil War) and is an "81 foot Multiple Kinpost Truss". And that's good enough for me. The bridge is in fantastic condition (recently restored?) and there was absolutely no graffiti, perhaps because it is situated rather fat from most traffic and people. It is 7 miles from here to I-64 at the Kentucky Route 801 exit.
If you're interested in covered bridges, this is worth a stop to admire. There is at least one park bench to sit. There is a second bridge downstream and 5 miles by road. That bridge has some structural issues as of July 2020 and is my next review. https://www.yelp.com/biz/grange-city-covered-bridge-grange-city
